Effective Team Bonding and Leadership Training Programme.
Workshop Overview
Team building and team bonding are two of the greatest challenges of leadership. Workers, in respect of their level in any establishment, come in various shapes, moods, sizes, temperaments, and levels of understanding and intellectual capacity. That is why the ability to bring the diverse elements that make up your organization together to share its vision constitutes a critical success factor. As a Nigerian leader remarked, it is easier to transport a thousand cows from Sokoto to Calabar than to get ten Nigerians to agree on a single policy.
That is why at this point in your organization, effective team bonding and leadership have become imperative. The management and staff must pull in the same direction and shun all forms of acrimony that are commonplace in typical government institutions. The management and staff must, of necessity, undergo this eye-opening workshop. This will infuse new life and new thinking into your organization’s team effort.
Managing interpersonal and group dynamics is a highly pragmatic course that focuses on the importance of managing multiple perspectives and using personal power and influence to meet and exceed set objectives.

Strategic Communication, Information Management And Freedom Of Information Act (FOI) for the Public Sector.
COURSE OVERVIEW
We all meet competent, even talented people in business, in government and in private life. But you might never know that they are competent by listening to them talk or read their write up. This situation becomes worrisome when you notice it amongst information officers, press secretaries and those whose duties it is to communicate government policies and agenda to the public.
This course is structured to support the cultural climate of your agency, your vision, and your strategic challenges and explores the concept of leveraging information as a critical asset that drives efficiency and adds value throughout your agency. It aimed to further equip your personnel with the skills to communicate across various platforms to build, manage and enhance the organization’s reputation and to direct social media strategy to ensure that engagement and influencing are a key component of their communication strategy.
The course will delve further into the issue of crisis communication, tapping into the importance of recognizing the difference between an issue and a crisis, and preparedness that will help mitigate the situation before it is magnified.
On the other hand, the FOI Act is seen with trepidation by civil servants because most of them do not understand what it is all about. A teeming section of the socially conscious population of Nigeria had believed that with the passage of the Freedom of Information Act into law, opportunities would arise to unlock and access most of the information that have hitherto been sheltered up in public offices.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The course is for every staff that interfaces with the public and colleagues alike.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
After this course you will understand:

This course will show participants a systematic approach to creative report writing so that they are able to write clear, concise and logically structured reports that convey meaning to readers in less time.
